I can see me with an M2 in the future too though. Now that forum name needs some work, just changed it from ChesterM4 doh!

I still feel like it's an accordion that's been squished together too much - maybe that's the hoods throwing me off again, but the dimensions look a little strange somehow.

HOLD THE PHONE FOR JUST A SECOND.
Looks like the LCI of the 3 series is getting the L shaped rings But get this... the "L" shaped rings aren't being limited for the Laser headlights The normal LED headlights are looking like the ones on the 4 series concept! This is awesome news for the M2 I'd assume the headlight rings on the M2 will look similar! So excited. Also, the rear tail lights mimic the 4 series concept as well. Scott... any comments on whether these LCI improvements will show on the M2? Perhaps updated taillights for the M2 as well? http://f30.bimmerpost.com/goodiesfor...4/4J6_9598.jpg http://f30.bimmerpost.com/goodiesfor...4/4J6_9686.jpg |

The M2 is an opportunity for BMW to really make a statement. A call to the enthusiasts to signal that the brand is still committed to providing light, nimble, precise, performance-focused cars we can get excited about. The M2 shouldn't be about selling as many copies to the masses as possible; there are plenty of other models for that. (Not every car needs to be a cash cow.) This car can be a sort of mid-lineup halo car for BMW... one that they can point to and say, look what we can accomplish: for 55k you can have a car that can hang with a Cayman R and base 911 around the track, but still seat 4 comfortably. The 3 series is no longer one of Car and Driver's 10 best, after 23 years running... Instead, the smaller, lighter, less luxurious 2 series has been chosen. This should send a clear message: the brand has softened too much, and it's starting to affect BMW's reputation, which will be followed by sales. Now more than ever, BMW needs to build a true driver's car.

Edit: the reason it is hard to see, is because the horizontal part of the "L" is 90% covered by the camo that covers the part of the headlight that connects to the grill. Also, look at the outer ring. The right side of the outer ring does not make a full circle like they used too. Just like on the 4 series concept. Do you see it now? I am 100000% sure that I am correct. Lol. Last edited by Adem1534; 11-30-2014 at 10:47 AM.. |

I agree. If these make it to production (which it looks like they will, as the tail lights are CLEARLY being upgraded), then we've got a winner. Last edited by Adem1534; 11-30-2014 at 02:45 PM.. |

That would certainly make the $1900 price tag more justifiable for sure

I too felt the same way walking away from a test drive of the M4, where I was able to drive it hard and truly wring it out on some b-roads, highway, off ramps. Net, it was dynamically better than my E92. I can't wait to try it out on the track next season |

But based on these recent photos, it seems like the LED headlight rings will be changing from the squircles like on the current-day M4 to the ring design on the 4 series concept. |
